Donald Trump’s tariffs have triggered a political earthquake in Canada, rattling markets and forging a rare alignment among leaders from Doug Ford to Danielle Smith to Justin Trudeau. In response, Canada is pushing back with counter-tariffs, boycotts, and sharp rhetoric aimed south of the border.

And as the federal race heats up, who do Canadians trust most to steer the country through turmoil? Pollster Shachi Kurl, economist Todd Hirsch and editorial writer Doug Firby join host Jim Brown to break it all down — with a dose of much-needed humour.
